Getting things done in a timely matter ( I am a bit of a procrastinator)- especially when it comes to paperwork. Keeping our house nice and tidy- Pretty much impossible with two young kids.

Do you have any siblings? What are they like?
I have one younger sister- Karen- She is very pretty, funny, artsy, and a good dresser- I am always borrowing or having her dress me for pictures, trips. She has had a pretty rough year so please keep her in your prayers- Thanks!
